Early Tolley men from Maryland to Virginia or opposite
A DNA test has been done on the line of Alexander Tolley d. 1777 (His son's were Spear and Thomas)of (Dorchester County) Maryland. There was a perfect 37 marker match with Henry Talley that married Mary Brooks , Henry Talley that married Edith Hubbard, and Martin Talley. The line is one away from James Dudley Talley and Nathan Talley. I have been told this means that all of these lines have a common ancester.There are other names included with this match. This is very interesting to me because of James Dudley Talley who is thought to be the brother of my Benoni Carter Talley.

Now I wonder ifthere are other Tolley families out there related to the surname Talley found inVirginia?
DNA is very helpful but this does not toss out the need to look at other records.I am interested in any information about the above family. I have found a lot of census records in Dorcester County.
